Crossing my fingers that AvP is good.

Yea I'm pretty sure you're right it's Verheiden. Didn't they name a character that in the AVP movie as well? Nice when they acknowledge the writers from the beginning.
There's also another Mark mentioned as having written the script. Verheiden? Is this simply a throwback to Book One or is it something new?
The old-timer doesn't seem to have learned his lesson
Speech bubbles design, typography, grammar and placement is an extremely detailed art within itself that most of us completely overlook.

Nit picking.
Book One.
Stradley wrote the original AvP amongst other things.
Richardson created Dark Horse and wrote Newts Tale and Genocide amongst others.
Not sure about the thread itself but yea it was maybe issue 1 or 2 of Predator L&D you found out about Seegson & being there illegally and such. I didn't get far enough in Isolation to learn much about them so my knowledge of Seegson is next to nothing.
As for the names, I could be wrong but I think they're people who worked on some of the older comic titles. I know the name Mark Nelson sticks out to me but I don't remember from what titles.
So my question for those who know more about Seegson, who's the more evil company in the end? Seegson, WY, Cyberdyne Systems or OCP from RoboCop? I don't care about evil corporations enough to look much into it
Randy Stradley
Mark Nelson
Who is Mike, Mark & Randy in the final page by the way, some inside joke by Dark Horse or a hint of a new series? Mike Richardson?

Forgot to also mention LV-797. Was this discussed already in the Predator Life & Death thread?
Is LV-797 located in the same system as LV-223/426?
I forget about it until now while I was reading the new #4 issue of Prometheus Life & Death.
Found this small description on a website:
LV-797, aka Tartarus, is a WY territory schedule to be terraformed. But it looks a rival company by the name of Seegson (yes!) is prospecting illegally on their grounds. Awesome! For those wondering why I'm geeking out right now, Seegson was the guilty party behind the shenanigans in the brilliant Alien: Isolation. Now we have a nice tie-in between the game and comics universe.

I liked the art well enough. Mutti does backgrounds really well, and the fight between Ahab and the Engineer was pretty great, but too short. His xenos were really not good in this issue, though. They get like an afterthought.
All in all, now that we're halfway through Life and Death, I can say that as a story it's working better than Fire and Stone, but tht story hasn't taken as many risks. Hopefully Abnett has some twists in store for us.

Come on, Wednesday!
This one has pretty much just woken up and he seems a bit puny for an Engineer. Might even have a respiratory problem, wearing the helmet and all.
What I took away from this preview :
Spoiler
Engineer : "You're just some puny creation by somebody or something that doesn't deserve to fight a god like me. I'm going to crush you"
Ahab : "Oh yeah? I don't care what you think I am and I certainly don't care what you are. Let's have it out so you can find out how puny I am."
(BTW, no, I'm not suggestion the Engineers created the Predators)
Looking at the preview.. this does look like this might be fixed. And seeing Ahab actually giving an Engineer in a chairsuit a hard time... Well.. maybe this will knock the Engineers down several pegs. Kind of got me nodding in approval there.
Speaking of Jockeys, if Covenant or a future sequel introduces them as a separate huge race... do you think the Predators would hunt them in future comics?
